Torchlight III

Read "Mainline Patch - August 11th, 2020 (Part 1)

• Every Relic Active and Passive skill has tier levels which make them more powerful, providing additional means of support or damage.
  
  
  
  
• Because Relics have been completely incorporated into their own skill tree, they no longer are leveled up like they previously were. The Reliquary is no longer a functional fort decoration, but will now serve as an exclusive Early Access gift that will serve as a reminder of ‘a bygone era.’
  
  
  
  
• Because Relic skills are part of the class skill trees, you can use Respectacles to respec your skill points at fort skill stations if you want to tinker with your Relic skills.

• Created ability for linked Arc account to enable customer support (work in progress).
  
• Updated engine version to use the network fixes for high frame rate users.

• Reduce outgoing bandwidth related to achievement quests. We now have cheaper messages that we can send to the client for achievement updates.

• Fixed server crash in GetHasApplied().
  
• Reduced a loading hitch in the Sadista fight when summoning netherim.
  
• Optimized the witch summoning skeletons, the netherim spellbreakers/spellslingers summoning netherlings and Sadista summoning netherlings to avoid a hitch.

• Fixed a hitch loading missiles.

• Removed three Relic based Achievements.

• New batch of localization imported and compiled.
  
• Fixed an issue with async-loading the level before trying to travel to it, so the loading screen covers the first part of warping to a new location.
  
• Fixed an issue where players were unable to go back to title after failed login.
  
• Replaced the red x icon with a remove icon and reformatted the "New Hero" button to be less prominent.
  
• Added the controller help screen. Will display only when the controller is connected.

  https://torchlight3.nolt.io/1033
  
  This update fixes a bug in Video Settings detection which made some people's computers run too hot. Next time you start Torchlight 3, your Video Settings will be automatically detected again, as if you were running it for the first time. TL3 should now run as fast or faster than before, without burning up your computer.
  
  As part of these changes, the game now defaults to Windowed Fullscreen instead of Fullscreen. This has a few benefits, including behaving better when switching to other running programs. In Windowed Fullscreen, your UI will be at the highest resolution your monitor supports (for example, 1920 x 1080), and the rest of the game will run at a resolution that may be lower, exactly as if you'd set a lower fullscreen resolution (say, 1280 x 720), based on the Resolution Quality slider.
  
  For example: Windowed Fullscreen at 1920 x 1080 and Resolution Quality 66.67 will look and run the same as Fullscreen 1280 x 720 and Resolution Quality 100, except that in the Windowed Fullscreen case the UI will be much crisper.
  
  Also, if you change your video or CPU hardware, or perhaps update your drivers, and want to detect new automatic "best" settings, you can now do that at the Main Menu with the new "Detect New Defaults" button on the "Video Settings" panel in Options. Because this runs hardware performance tests, it has to be done at the Main Menu so that the CPU and GPU hardware are as idle as possible.
  

When we first launched into Early Access we received a large amount of critical feedback pertaining to skills. Players criticized what appeared to be a lack of options and uniqueness when initially creating a character. Alongside some problematic interactions with the current system of swappable Relics, like players deleting accidentally them, it was clear that Relics needed a deep review.

After discussing the issues further with the community including closed focus groups, Friday streams, and long chats in Discord, a rebuild of Relics had to happen if they were going to become the truly unique and powerful skill tree that they were always intended to be.

The community was right and while this was not a small task, we believe this is a huge improvement for Torchlight III’s base gameplay; we’re extremely excited to see all of the new and creative builds that come from this change.

Because this feature would require a large amount of work to retroactively fit into a player's current accounts/characters, we have decided to wipe all player/account data when this feature goes live.

• Players will now choose their Relic after they choose their class during character creation. This choice is a permanent 3rd skill tree, full of its own active and passive skills.
  
  Example of a Bane Railmaster. Would you go Bane Train or Spider Slammer?
  
  
• You cannot change your Relic in the new system which means that this choice is a fixture of your class; you will be known by the powers and influence your chosen Relic gives you. There is no way to change a Relic after a character has been created.
  
  
  
  
• You will be able to preview all of the skills together and hover over each one individually to provide you with more information before you make a final decision.
  
  
• Each Relic comes with five active skills and five passive skills to choose from. Each active skill has its own set of tier bonuses that can greatly enhance the skill in a variety of ways.
  
  
  
  
• Like the other two class skill trees, Relic skills have level requirements and share the same skill point pool as the other two trees.
  
  
• Most Active Relic skills require Relic Energy, though not all do. Relic Energy generates over time as long as you remain in combat. The Relic Charge Bar will be hidden if you do not have a skill that spends Relic Energy.
  
  
  
  
• The former Relic Activation skills have been reworked into a normal skill you put points into and slot into one of your skill slots, but they behave differently from the rest of the Relic’s skills. They do not have a normal resource cost or cooldown, but instead can be activated once you have spent a total of 200 Relic Energy on other skills. As you build and spend the Relic Energy meter, you’ll slowly work towards being able to activate this very potent skill. Naturally, the more you invest your skill points into your new Relic tree, the more often you’ll be able to use this ‘finishing’ skill, and the more potent it will become.
  
  
• ‘Weapon Mastery’ associations are optional passives each Relic contains, which not only make the basic attacks of the specified weapon stronger but also increases the potency of the relic overall so long as you have that weapon type equipped. This creates build options that drill down into focusing on specific weapons, which is something the community has directly requested.
  
  
• There are five main Relics to choose from, each with its own unique association and strengths.

UPCOMING WIPE FAQS

• Nothing. Everything will be wiped clean, this includes your Fort, your mailbox, any items you’ve stashed, and all character and account data. Nothing will remain on your account and you will be starting the Torchlight III experience fresh alongside everyone else.

• The amount of time that would have to be spent in creating a data migration tool in order to preserve specific elements of the game would take away from time that could be spent creating new features, fixing bugs, and providing a more stable gameplay experience.
  
  Additionally, there are many parts of the game that we have updated since Early Access launch and the team wants to be able to view some of the specific areas that have received tuning, updates, or fixes since that time.
  
  Wiping everything completely allows the team to view player progression, including balance and bugs, without the confusion of old data or issues related to bad data migration.

• Yes. As stated on our Early Access FAQs, listed on the game product page, there is a scheduled wipe at the end of Early Access, which will be just prior to the launch of the game. In addition to the team being able to provide more aggressive updates and bug fixes prior to launch, the community will also be able to have a chance to all start on the same foot with all the latest updates, bug fixes, and tuning.
  
  As with this upcoming wipe, the scheduled wipe at the end of Early Access is a complete data wipe. Your Alpha and Early Access gifts will still be available to your account, but all progress will be cleared and all players will start fresh at the launch of the game.

• Why not have some fun before the wipe? Some players may want to spend the last week or two in-game building insane forts, trying new builds, or rampantly gambling when they might otherwise be more frugal.

• The design team will be carefully watching the economy and player progression after the wipe. It will be important and easier to study and discern real concerns/issues if they are not clouded by other sources of currency/resources. This does not mean that we won’t provide in-game gifts in the future, it just means that it won’t be as excessive as our pre-wipe gifts and most likely won’t occur right after the next big update.

OPEN ISSUES

• No updates at the moment, still investigating.

• We have pushed a hotfix recently to address some Steam achievement issues. We don’t have any further updates on whether these achievements will be removed at launch or not.

• This is a good suggestion, we will implement in a future patch.

• We are continuing to work towards a UI scaling option within our settings menu and a better resolution for Ultrawide monitors.

• We have fixed this before, but player reports indicate the issue has come back. We are investigating.

• Some players experience issues being able to travel to Lake Gobdunk via waypoint. We had hoped this was fixed in a previous update, but are currently reinvestigating the issue.

UPCOMING FIXES

• We know some players are experiencing increased lag/rubberbanding since the last major update. We have a couple of fixes ready, but we continue to work to improve this and it’s our top priority.
  
• As always, if you continue to experience disconnects, lag, and connection issues, please send your logs and debug information (see above) to feedback@echtra.net with an appropriate title for the problem.
  
• Australian servers are not yet available, but we still plan to bring them online in a future patch.

• We are fixing these instances as they come in. Please post your debug info and logs for missing enemies and bosses to: http://tl3feedback.echtragames.com

• Benchmark settings are being updated in a future update which is most likely causing some computers to run ‘hot’.

• There is an underlying fix that is being worked on that will hopefully address many of these issues. However, please continue to report any quests that are not resolving properly, including quests that don’t drop enough items.

• The team has a fix ready for a future update. Anytime you experience infinite loading screens, travel issues, connection problems, weird black screens, etc - please send us your debug info and logs (see details above) and we will try our best to do what we can to get the issue resolved.

• A potential fix is ready for an upcoming update.

TROUBLESHOOTING

• If you are having trouble logging into the game we have the following suggestions to try before sending us more info:
  
  
  
  • This usually occurs when Steam is not properly connected. Are you able to connect to other games that require an (online) Steam connection?
    
  • Are you connected to the internet and launching the game through the Steam library?
    
  • Have you rebooted the game, your PC, and verified the Steam files?
    
  • Are any 3rd party apps (like torrent software, anti-virus, firewalls, etc) or ISP blocking your connectivity or ports?
    
    
    • We’ve received reports of firewall and antivirus blocking Torchlight III, please verify your 3rd party programs are not suppressing the connection between Torchlight III and your internet connection.
    
    
  • Is your clock properly set?
    
  • Are you using Steam Proton? A Steam SDK update seems to have stopped this from working for players. We don’t formally support Linux or 3rd party programs, but may be able to further investigate the issue in the future. Some players have told us that Vanguard (and other anti-cheat/virus) can be blocking the connection - you may want to remove or review your 3rd party programs.
    
  
  
• If you have confirmed all of the above and still haven’t been able to log in, please send us your logs in an email and we will review the issue further.

• Quest rewards should no longer be giving fort items that are duplicates of Contract rewards. For the moment, you can create a new character, transfer the excess items to that character via the Shared Stash, and delete the new character to delete the items from your account.

• We know. We’re sorry! The upcoming wipe should hopefully resolve the root issue that causes this problem. See the above instructions for getting rid of it while you wait for the wipe.

• Scroll of Lifebound no longer indicates that legendary items are valid targets.
  
• Set the following legendary weapons to only drop at level 60: Herman's Masterwork, Molten Reach, Panoptifist, Head of Blastbutt, Soulflask, The Tenderizer, Berserk Crusher, Wingspan, Firewall, The Holy Icon, Bonerazor, Maestro's Sword.
  
• Fixed a typo in affix data that could lead to helm or shoulders having evasion affixes with upwards of 90%. The evasion trait is hard-capped at 40%.
  
• Fixed issue where skills in the Legendarium are not saved if the player presses escape out of the legendarium menu before hitting equip.

  • If you're in the world, including one of the other passageways - even if it contains your own fort or a party member's fort - you can travel to your fort by clicking on "My Fort".
    
  • If you're in Trevail's Passage and it has your own fort in it, you cannot click on "My Fort".
    
  • If you're in Trevail's Passage and it has somebody else's fort in it (like a party member), then you can click on "My Fort" to go to your fort in Trevail's Passage.
    
  • If you're out in the world, including one of the other passageways - even if it contains your own fort or a party member's fort - you can travel to the party leader's fort by clicking on "Trevai's Passage".
    
  • If you're in Trevail's Passage with anybody's fort in it, then you cannot click on Trevail's Passage.
    
  • In fact, if you're in ANY place and you click on the place that you're at in the waypoint map, you cannot travel there.
    
  • If you're in the world, including one of the other passageways - even if it contains your own fort or a party member's fort - you can create a portal to your own fort
    
  • If you're in Trevail's Passage and it contains your fort, then you cannot create a portal to your fort.
    
  • If you're in Trevail's Passage and it contains somebody else's fort, then you can create a portal to go to your own fort.

  • If you're in Trevail's Passage and it contains somebody else's fort, then you can only create a portal to a party member's fort if the fort doesn't already have that player's fort in it.
  
  
• Fixed cases where trying to go to your fort would potentially take you to somebody else's fort:
  
  
  • If you used the waypoint map to travel to Trevail's Passage, it could take you to a random player's fort. It should now take you to the party leader's fort.
    
  • If you were in town and used the Z portal to travel to a party member's fort, it could take you to a random player's fort. It should now take you to the specified player's fort.

• Fixed an issue where it was possible to trigger Strongtusk's boss intro per player instead of for all partied players in the area.
  
• Fix for Ordrak's dead-but-lingering poison orbs.

• Fixed issue where Electric Widow boss and Electric Spider champions were invisible with shadows off.
  
• Fixed Netherim Brute and Netherim Spellbreaker type bosses that were failing to spawn. This also expands the variety of spawn types that these monsters can use, which will lead to them being able to spawn in more levels, potentially with some visible clipping for now, but the increase in variety is preferred.
  
• Fixed fame not dropping from champions or bosses.
  
• Fixed an issue where the player can distinguish a Mimic from a normal chest by using any spell on the chest.
  
• Set the right boss death sequence for the Act 3 random encounter bosses.

• Fixed issue where Psora can be defeated without entering boss area after dying in boss area and reviving at the level entrance.
  
• Fixed an issue where Chargerbug enemies can push the player into textures/out of bounds.

• Set Klatz to have the standard miniboss status effect.
  
• Reduced the movement capsule radius of all monsters by 50%.
  
• Fixed issue where Wideload, Chieftain of Snotskins boss is able to target the playable character outside the combat area.
  
• Monsters on Ridiculous and Painful move faster now.
  
• Fixed Carrion Killer, Singedwing and Sarge minibosses not having the correct death VFX, SFX or summoning adds.

• Increased the damage on zombies. Slightly increased the pack sizes on zombies.
  
• Fixed an issue where Nyx (and presumably other Netherim Spellbreakers) could get stuck on terrain and stay permanently invulnerable while tethering to its spawn position if the player kited it too far away.
  
• Evasion can now appear on Armor! Currently, this is functionally the same as Block, but appears on Armor instead of Shields. In the future, this will not be the case, and these will be differentiated in function. Evasion can appear as both Primary and Secondary affixes, and is capped to 40%.
  
• Fixed an issue where Legendary Armor's Primary affix types were not rolling properly. They now have the same primary affix types as other armor rarities, as intended.

• Changed the Relic activation skill slot to be on the regular skill bar and assignable.
  

• Fixing Blood Drinker's base activation bleed chance so the activation skill tooltip takes into account the increased bleed chance from points added.

• Fixing broken scaling description.

• Fixing broken scaling description.

• Fixed it so all Bane spider summons can be resummoned after the player dies.

• The Aubergine Cat color variation has also been added. You can get it when you reach the end of a level 60 dungeon, be that a Challenge, Map Scroll, or Phase Beast dungeon.

• Fixed an issue where head and hair customizations were not appearing correctly for other players.
  
• Removed superfluous rounding numbers from the Fighter's Spirit buff.

• Fixed an issue where removing the train while the Shield car active was activated could result in it having permanent uptime.
  
• Disabled errant missile blocking sphere on the Shield Cart for Railmaster that was making it so player missiles were blocked.
  
• Railmaster's Flamethrower Car, Shotgonne Car, and Mortar Car now have much more impactful Endurance Bonus effects. Try them out!
  
• Fixed issue where Railmaster's Slammer skills displays the 'Lineage' tag.
  
• Fixed issue with Railmaster Spike Drive displaying 'charge rate into cooldown' mechanic.

• Fixed the first few levels of Energy Spike failing to cast the skill.
  
• Fixed an issue with Entropy where the primary missile was moving too slow, and the milestone missile was moving super fast.
  Dev Note: This was the reverse of the design intent as the milestones indicated. Furthermore, I increased both the overall speed of the base missile and the milestone missile to make it slightly less powerful.

• Made some improvements to Sharpshooter skill procs
  
• Changed the description for Sharpshooter's Ghost Visage skill to say that it is interrupted by attacking.

• Fixed an issue where Forged tails wouldn't animate on other players' machines.
  
• Fixed an issue where Ramming Robot's tier 3 effect would sometimes not be removed.

• We’ve included a fix that should improve the rubberbanding/lag. While this might not be a complete resolution, so far this has been an improvement for many players playing on the Public Test Realm. We’re still interested in specific circumstances (party play, a specific level, skills/effects) if players see rubberbanding in future.
  https://torchlight3.nolt.io/1602
  

• More work has been done to adjust the 4k/UI experience.
  https://torchlight3.nolt.io/576
  

• Boss not spawning in mapworks: All known locations are fixed. Keep posting (Debug info) Ctrl-D to Nolt or Discord if new locations are found.
  https://torchlight3.nolt.io/1495
  

• Phase Beast Portals Bugged In Act 3 have had known locations that failed to spawn return portals fixed. Keep posting Ctrl-D if new locations are found.
  https://torchlight3.nolt.io/1338
  

• Failed to Login, Please Wait (for crazy long durations): We now prevent excessive login backoff times from occurring.
  https://torchlight3.nolt.io/1105
  

• Fixed various cases where we think players have been Teleporting to different peoples areas. It’s still a bit weird that this ever happened, so continue posting client logs if this comes up after the patch.
  https://torchlight3.nolt.io/623
  

• When the Shadows setting was Off, some monsters did not render. This is fixed.
  https://torchlight3.nolt.io/298
  

• Fixed resource nodes that stay on minimap.
  https://torchlight3.nolt.io/61
  

• Massive Champ pack sizes that don’t drop loot/fame: These broken champ packs should no longer spawn.
  https://torchlight3.nolt.io/1491
  

• Duplicate Legendary Fort plans permanently remain in inventory: Quest and Contract rewards had some overlap which is now resolved. Players should not get new duplicates. Old duplicates can be cleaned up by transferring to a new character and deleting that character. Or keep them as a souvenir.
  https://torchlight3.nolt.io/94

  https://torchlight3.nolt.io/623

One of the first questions that players ask about Torchlight 3 has always been: “what kind of endgame does it have?” It is an important question that we have dodged for long enough. Taking cues from the previous two Torchlight games, our initial ideas for endgame revolved around ideas about mapworks runs, endless dungeons, new game plus, things like that. At the same time, feedback from our closed beta players was very clearly “it had better not be just mapworks.” The things that we heard from the players was that they wanted an activity they could play forever, improve at, keep finding more cool loot, face exciting new challenges, and importantly, show off their accomplishments to others.

To meet these goals, we have created Fazeer’s Dun’djinn. For those unfamiliar, Fazeer Shah is an all-powerful djinni from Torchlight 2 that helped you save the Guardian of Mana, in exchange for retrieving the Lamp of Marvels. Doing so unwittingly freed Fazeer, granting him near-limitless power. Now, over a century later, Fazeer tires of touring the world, and wants to settle down somewhere: your fort.

• Characters can gain access to the quest that unlocks Fazeer’s Dungeon by completing the game by defeating the last boss on Act 3.
  
  
• This quest will unlock Fazeer’s throne decoration in your fort. Players can gain access to their end game progression and experience through this throne.
  
  
  
  
• Each character on your account will progress independently through the Challenge levels.
  
  
• Your experience is shared between all difficulties, meaning you can progress through this experience on any difficulty setting without losing your Challenge Dungeon levels. Keep in mind that your character’s shield will always show the lowest difficulty level that a character has played on.
  
  
• When entering Fazeer’s Dun’djinn you will be confronted with the Challenge Rules on the left side of the screen and the Challenge Levels at the bottom of your screen.
  
  
  
  
• The Challenge Rules on the left side of the screen will increase in difficulty as you progress through each set of Challenge Level cards.
  
  
• Each Challenge Level card at the bottom of the screen will provide a set of Challenge Dungeon, each with information as to which elemental affix to expect, which general location/theme the Dungeon will take place in, and a randomly chosen positive and negative effect that will alter the experience for this Dungeon run.
  
  
  
  
• If you fail a Challenge Level before completing the last card in a set, you will lose your progress and need to complete the Challenge Levels again.
  
  
• Failing a Dungeon Challenge will also provide a new set of randomly generated Challenge Level card options that are presented to you when you choose a Level.
  
  
• Your progress will be saved each time you complete a set and you can return to these previous Challenge Levels at any time.
  
  
• During your Challenge Dungeon runs you will come across sets of Boss Challenge cards; completing these Challenges will ensure your progress is saved and provides another way to farm loot and revisit popular storyline villains.
  
  
  
  
• You can invite up to three other people in your group to join you. Fighting with friends in Fazeer’s Dun’djinn is highly recommended as solo runs can end very quickly without an option to revive.
  
  
• If you are in a group, you can progress together! Progress is saved as long as you have unlocked the end game experience and completed a Challenge Level set. Meaning, if you are in a group, starting from scratch, and decide to run the Challenge Dungeon, all of your progress for everyone in your group will be saved with each set completion. This does not mean you can skip a set of Challenge Levels; you cannot join your friend at Challenge Level 100 and expect to see the same progress in your Challenge Dungeon without completing those Levels at some point previously.
  
  
• Once you clear a Challenge Level after reaching the level cap (currently 60) you will gain an additional embellishment on your overhead badge to show-off your Challenge Dungeon Level progression.
  
  
• One final tip! Once you enter a Challenge Dungeon there is no escape out other than death or victory...
  
  
  
  
• Go in prepared; bring friends, buy potions, gear up appropriately (wardrobes in your fort can be used to easily swap gear sets), change up your Legendarium and Pet skills (some of Fazeer’s positive/negative effects are the same ones you might see in the Legendarium, so other Legendarium options may be better suited for that run), and make sure all of your other resources available to you, like fort monuments and equipment enchantments, are as upgraded as they can be!
  (Players should not fail Challenge Dungeons if they leave the dungeon - whether by crash, portal, disconnect, or otherwise.)
